CABLE ATT ADJ

Before adjusting, set the radar as follows:

IR: 2, ES: off, EAV: off, 24nm range, long pulse (Same as default setting of PICTURE1)

To adjust the cable attenuation manually, choose MANUAL by pressing [2] and the [ENTER] key, and then rotate the wheel so that noise just appears on the screen when the gain is set to 80. Default setting is 30 for the antenna cable length of 15m. The setting range is 0 to 73. To adjust automatically, choose AUTO and press the [ENTER] key. The message “CABLE ATT ADJ” appears in red at the bottom of the screen. It takes about five minutes to complete the adjustment, after which the radar goes into stand-by.

DEFAULT ANT HEIGHT

Select height (m) of the radar antenna unit from the sea surface among 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and “more 50 m”.

NEAR STC CURVE, MID STC CURVE AND FAR STC CURVE

Use the default setting. Change the setting if desired according to sea condition.

RING SUPPRESSION

This is mainly used to removes “ring” noise which appears in the waveguide-type radar. Adjust so the rings disappear at the range of 0.125 nm. The setting range is 0 to 255.
